Welcome Spring!!

Easter and Conference...2 treasures in one weekend. We had a yummy pancake breakfast at church Saturday morning followed by an Easter craft, egg-hunt and Conference. It was a beautiful but windy day.

On Sunday morning, we awoke to find all sorts of treats from the Easter Bunny. He's getting better and better each year at hiding those eggs in new places!

Here are my sweet girls. Oh yeah, Brooklynn finally lost that 2nd tooth! After the traumatic experience of her first tooth-loss, she just would NOT wiggle it (or she'd pretend to) so we decided to wait until it got very, very loose...which it did, but it was still a bit of a sturggle to get it out. The dental floss kept sliding off because she would pull her chin in a down when Russ went to pull it, which made it hurt...with no results. Finally, Russ just had to give it a couple of good tugs with his fingers. She was glad to have it gone. Poor thing!!!

For Spring Break this year I was determined to get out of the house and spend some quality time with my girls. We went to the movies, our local park, Chuck-E-Cheese and the World's Fair Park...and thanks to coupons, gift certificates and checking the interent for free local events...we hardly spent any money!!! Gotta love it!! These pictures are of the Sun Sphere in downtown Knoxville where the World's Fair was held in 1982. Erica, Tara & her boys, and my girls & I took the elevator up to the observation deck where we had a gorgeous 360 degree view of the city of Knoxville. Then we had a picnic by a pond and let the kids play a while on this really cool, huge wooden play set. It was such a nice day! I wish the weather would stay just like this the rest of the summer and not get any hotter or more humid. *sigh* One can wish.
